Electricity production: When enzymes rival platinum

Making a biocell that is as effective as a platinum fuel cell: that’s the feat that researchers have achieved. Three years after making their first prototype biocell, the researchers have just reached a new milestone and increased its performance and stability. This biocell could, in the long run, offer an alternative to fuel cells that require rare and costly metals, such as platinum.
